Hi
I really don't know what to do now. I received my decision from a UC decision maker today saying I was not suitable for either LCW or LCWRA and could work. The issue I have with that is how they expect me to actually work.
I have foot issues including a degenerative bone in my big toe which makes it so painful to walk too far. I have a blue badge for my father's car (I cannot drive) and I cannot use public transport. I am also currently shielding as I am in the vulnerable group placed by the Department of Health and Social Care. I struggle to move around without a walking aide and I have a physiotherapist report that says I walk slow and in a lot of pain after a number of metres as I also suffer from a walking gait that adds pressure and pain.
Luckily, I am in sheltered housing with parents so I do not need to climb stairs or walk too far at any time. I feel so stressed and depressed now as it feels like they are expecting me to do something that I physically will not be able to achieve
I have contacted the citizens advice bureau and asked the decision maker for a full written report on their decision as well as the full assessment report. This is now causing me huge concern as I suffer with some anxiety if I am going somewhere new as I cannot climb stairs or stand for too long so I worry if there are lifts or chairs etc.
I feel like crying right now as I just do not understand their decision. Has anyone else been through this? What did you do and what happened?
